Show and Tell
"I ended up on a beach eventually and found the Brelland Seacat resting in a harbor. I hadn't seen man before and thought I'd investigate. They weren't too scared of me and took me in. Been here ever since," Turai said simply and sat down. "You?"
"Well, let me tell you..." Shanku sat down as well. She proceeded to tell him her tale. Of Jakko stealing her rabbit, her time with the Heyen, how she changed forms for the first time, and her time in Wynfall. Meeting Rhett and the frightening reptilian monsters dubbed as the "Port's Plague", and how from there she came aboard the Meriweather. Then with a sad fondness all the adventures she'd had since then.
"You've certainly been busy," Turai shook his head. "Magic? Really?"
"Yup," Shanku nodded.
"No wonder you went feral," Turai propped his elbow on the knee of his good leg and his cheek against his knuckles.
"Eh?" Shanku asked.
"Granny Shanku used to tell tales of the Great War, magic, shifting shape, and when Wanderlust was encouraged in some faraway age past," Turai explained. "She said that after the war, everything that really defined us as a people was lost."
"Probably because magic was banished, no?" Shanku asked flatly.
"And you have reawakened your ability to shift," Turai said nervously. "She said we became known as the Feral tribe because of how little we used to control our anger."

Show and Tell
The two abilities could possibly be connected. Possibly. I like drawing flashbacks. More fun than text. 
Let's see, it's summer now and we met Shanku in the spring... Wow, it's been a bit over six years already for her since the story started. For some reason I was thinking it only five years had passed in the story.
